Millions to "FIGHT ANIMAL CRUELTY" in New Zealand

The founder of outdoor clothing and equipment chain Kathmandu has given $2 million to help fight factory farming with some of the money being offered to workers to rat on their bosses.
The Animal Justice Fund (AJF) was launched by the animal rights group Save Animals From Exploitation (Safe) today after Kathmandu founder and philanthropist Jan Cameron gave $2 million to the fund.
Australian-born Ms Cameron, who founded Kathmandu in 1987, is a prominent supporter of animal welfare having previously given A$5m ($6.4m) to set up a similar fund in Australia.
Safe director Hans Kriek said the fund meant the organisation could prosecute farmers who committed offences against animals.The fund would act as a national watchdog for factory pig, chicken and battery hen farms and would also help fund promotional campaigns, he said. "Safe may even challenge, in the High Court, welfare codes that allow ongoing abuse of animals," he said.
Safe has been a strong critic of factory farming in New Zealand and made the headlines last year when Mike King, a former spokesman for the pork industry, spoke out against the factory farming of pigs.

Farm animals are specifically excluded from animal welfare legislation, so farmers could be engaged in cruel practices that are not necessarily against the law.

She is a great Woman, no she a real hero! There are plenty of people who help the humans-who cares about the poor animals?You Jan obviously do, it makes me feel better knowing that there are so many Animal lover like“SAVE”Thank you Jan Cameron's for what you do for them.I wish more people cared about animals. It's so sad that many people just do not care about animal suffering.The worst thing about “Kiwis” is their total denial about the level of their Animal Cruelty problems in New Zealand.
